Its my 8th week!!!!!

Today it is 8 full weeks since I was last in school. The reason for this is that I am now being home educated. So far it has been quite different and nowhere near as boring. I have learnt an awful lot more in a home ed day than in about 3 days in school and all of these things have been 10 times more exciting and interesting than school! I would highly recommend home education to anybody! Over these last few weeks I have learnt a ton of new things.

 Here are some of the things I have done; I have visited The University of Sheffield were we found out about bones that included handling REAL human bones!



I've met up with plenty of lovely kids at the HE meetings I go to that were much better behaved than those in school! I played pool, table tennis and also mincraft on the Xbox one with them!

 I've also been to connisborough castle were I made my way up to the top of the keep! I still need to write my post on this!:)



we went to a jewellery and photography  day were me and Alicia went to the Harley gallery to look and try on jewellery.

On top of all this, I have also:
 Gone to a home ed meeting in the country park, art, looked at owl pellets and dissected them, baked, done some GCSE science and maths. And I did a maths SATs paper which I scored 91 out of a possible 100 on! And much more!

One of the next things I am doing is going to be building a website. I have (obviously) started a blog!

Seahorses could be extinct in 30 years: Trade in dried wildlife souvenirs could see the marine creatures wiped out!!! HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS!!!  © The Seahorse Trust Seahorses could be wiped out within 30 years by the illegal sale of dead wildlife as curiosities, according to a conservation charity.   The Seahorse Trust are trying to achieve a new target to stop the sale of dried marine animals as holiday keepsakes. Please see what you can do to help to Stop The Curio Trade Campaign Many families would have been to seaside resorts across Britain during the summer holidays, and may have seen all the seahorses and other creatures up for sale. The trust are warning people not to buy the mementos and instead report shops that sell them to the charity. Creatures such as innocent seahorses, starfish, pipefish and corals are found in tourist shops in coastal towns across the UK.

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
